Anna tries to give her children everything,
although her husband’s lack of employment and their indebtedness are becoming increasingly oppressive.
When it transpires that she is pregnant again, she is faced with a tremendously difficult decision.
On the other hand, Teréz has everything in life except what she most yearns for: a baby.
The wealthy woman offers to resolve all Anna’s financial troubles,
if she will go through with the birth and then hand over the child.
Márta Mészáros’s emotional drama positions the spotlight on surrogacy and the moral dilemmas that surround the subject.Read More »

Quote:
“Rewizyta” is a film about the further fate of the protagonists of Krzysztof Zanussi’s films from the 1970s: “Family Life” (1970), “Camouflage” (1976) and “The Constant Factor” (1980). What happened to them? Where are they? How did they survive the decades that separate us from those times? The film takes the form of an interview conducted in the present day by a would-be suicide, the protagonist of “And A Warm Heart,” who, on the recommendation of a therapist, investigates whether human life can be successful. The interview scenes are juxtaposed with film excerpts. Years later, the same actors appear before the camera and answer the man’s questions.Read More »

A student abandons his way of life and wanders, suitcase in hand, seeking a place in life, literally and metaphorically. Two attitudes clash in this character – resignation and a readiness to adjust to life according to the generally accepted pattern (“little stabilization”), and the remnants of youthful rebellion, refusal to accept a boring life centred around making money. (Awards: 1966 – Bergamo, International Art Film Festival – Grand Prix; 1968 – Valladolid, IFF – Jury Special Prize).Read More »
